when you are ready to go to a van, we have converted 2 and i live local so happy to help as much as i can
Hope Adam sees this message.
@@jaynekittycat9252 to be fair to @travelsick i followed their van build and they did a sterling job of their crafter so he would but stupid not to take them up on the offer
Yeah me too😀👍.
@@LiveOrDieTryingLSA He deserves a nice van.
Aww kindness at its best 👍 nice one sir .. yeah hope Adam sees this .
You became very introspective after mentioning your corn. Admittedly I'm not a professional podiatrist, but I'm fairly certain corns aren't terminal 😆😉
Thank you for opening your heart, I didn’t have a good relationship with either parent so I understand the feelings that brings. I made sure with my children good happy relationships and memories were made. I blessed with doing the same with grand children. It will come full circle again Adam. I’m wishing you achieve the van dream x
Thankyou 🙏
Van life sounds very appealing, however it’s one thing buying a van, another thing maintaining one. Everything is more expensive, Tolls, fuel etc…. The Mercs and Fords are notorious for rust. Not to mention how much they can restrict you when it comes to parking and most are rear wheel drive which can make them skittish in icy weather.
If you have a few bob and can afford to lose some of it, then go
for it, but keep the Ford for stealth camping and use the camper with your family.
This is why I decided too go full time vanlife and love it
You struck a cord with your chat about your dad and kids. I lost my dad 3 yrs ago and don’t have many memories of things I did with him growing up. He was just focused bless him on making money to give me and my mum a good life, which he did & I’m grateful for that. I just wish I had more quality time with him. Now with my own kids I try to make as many memories with them as I can but since my ex moved them 200 miles away, it’s been rather challenging but I still try. Like you said though, as they get older they are less and less interested to do anything like camping or hiking, last time I had them camping was 8 months ago. I won’t give up though, there is always hope. Good luck with your kids mate 🙏
Yeh it's not always that perfect way we want things can be ... challenging ... we need to try and make those memories they are the key to the good times I feel looking back with fond memories but when the other side doesn't want to make them can be tough, I feel ya buddy .. we'll get there ... might just drag mine out one weekend somewhere regardless
@@wanderingwhereYes, 100% the memories are key as that’s all we have at the end of the day! I know we will both keep working on making them with our kids 👍
Enjoyed watching your vanlife experience, we converted a van ourselves and really enjoy going away just get in and drive off into the sunset, anywhere we want to, relax and chill out with the dog
Corns are caused through pressure. Not bacteria. You need to change your footwear, file down the corn after you soaked it for 20 mins. Then don't wear the same footwear as they are applying pressure where the corn is. I had a corn that took me 12 years to get rid of . If you soak it twice a week and file it down every time it should be gone within a month. But change your footwear.
Adam what a star you are not only good at making videos and finding great locations but to talk about your private past and life is to be commended. Well done. I think that van was a bit on the big side but hey ho your choice. Can’t wait to see the little KIA loaded to the hilt and hitting the highway. Take Care. All the best. Nice to see Old Grumps again. Cheers. B. K.
I'm buzzin with the possibilities around your adventures in a massive van over the next few years m8 but will definitely miss your struggles in those cars. Legendary!
Loved this video. You were so giddy and happy in the van :) Thank you for sharing the personal stuff as well. You are a legend!
I am 61 years old, I travel around Australia with a Golden Retriever and a cat in my home a 2023 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 417 CDI LWB Campervan/ motorhome (7m) and I love it! If I can manoeuvre my van 🚐 I am sure you will be fine 😊. Once you experience van 🚐 life you will love it 🥰
Thanks for another great video. Loved the bit when you were talking about doing all the things you wanted to do with your kids before they grew up.
That van is big enough to hold a rave in with a live band playing at one end.
Now that be cool
Medium Wheel base van, perfect size for ya Adam. Would love to see a van build series from ya, we live in hope . Safe travels 🤙
The grumster is old school.my dad was the same.you just carry on being a good dad it pays off pall.👍🏴🚙⛺️
Adam, I have been a subscriber since 5K and your energy and happiness is just what the world needs right now. I really hope your algorithms catch on and you hit the big time on UA-cam until then, like I always say I will watch the ads all of the way through, and I hope everybody else does to support your channel set up a page so we can all buy you a van. Massive content if a humble guy like you gets the 100k kitted out sprinter
Good luck mate, keep smiling
Bless u mate thankyou so much 🙏 😀
You can get a caravan sat nav that avoids any tight routes for caravans..just a thought 🤔
Nice to see the grumpster to get him on some trips with ya memories are worth more than money 🎉❤
Love these raw videos & Wandering Where philosophy. Buzzing for the Kia trips and the wild camps 👍
VAN THAT FITS IN A PARKING BAY MAKES SENSE, another nice vid Adam, wish you luck 👍
Your in your element ✨️ ♥️ absolutely u need one someone out there give him a van to test out even campers you would be the perfect one to demonstrate em
Thank you for the words man 🙏🏻 all the best
🙏
Absolutely love your videos Adam. Your such a happy chap. You realy are a breath of fresh air. And keep the cooking videos coming they make me laugh. Look forward to the next one 😊
I really admire your honesty and openness and I'm with you when it comes to building memories with your kids 👍
When mine were little we didn't have a lot of money but we used to spend every spare penny we had on 'fun stuff' instead of furniture etc. We saved up for a caravan and went all over the place, kayaks to go white water kayaking and even stuff like playing on a lake with an old massive tractor tyre innertube that we'd persuaded a garage to give to us 😂We had so much fun and our kids are grown up now but still talk about everything we did 😃
We'd realised that when they grew up they'd remember all the fun we had, what kids are going to remember that they had a gorgeous 3 piece suite or a lovely carpet, our house was clean and comfortable but it was miles away from being up to date and posh and we wouldn't change a thing.
I love your attitude and as far as your kids are concerned, they'll have so many memories to look back on and they'll love you for it 😃 .... oh my days, you've got me being all philosophical now 🤣
Thankyou so much 🙏 ❤️ sound like your children had a great upbringing
I've driven a Sprinter (not long wheel base) just the standard sprinter for 2 months across Australia doing over 7000 miles and considering we've never stayed in a van I can say one thing.. they are amazing to live out of!! Very big and a lot of room to do your own things
I would go for SWB just better for parking. there are pros and cons for LWB and SWB.
This bought back some memories I had to drive one of these around bath spa doing some deliveries I got lost and had to drive around some tiny streets with car parked both sides of the road nothing was coming past me 😂 I felt like I was the king of the streets 😂 great video might try this myself 👍
I've finally just moved out of my Ford kuga into a Ford transit custom. Short wheel. And I love it, the sprinters are just to big, for me. Even if I am 6ft lol. Going from a car to a van is good. But I miss the stealthy side of living in a car.
You should get a van mate, converting it into a camper would make some great videos.
A taste of things to come maybe?
Have never commented but simply loved the upload, great content, your reflectins on life and family were very relatable. Keep rockin the content, I love it😊
Thankyou so much really appreciated 🙏
Great video Adam. You have got some lovely memories and I wish you all the best for your future adventures. I love watching you cooking . Your dinner looks delicious. Maybe you can get a van one day 👍🥰❤️
Omg. You are so cute, love your excitement and also frustration.
I would have been so nervous driving, parking and backing up what a nightmare
But what a great way to live in a vehicle.
You deserve to have a homey and comfortable place considering how much time you spend in your vehicle!!
Been waiting for this!!!! 💙
You nearly made me cry talking about your Dad and kids. ❤️
Sorry buddy 🙏
Boss mate. Yeah you can turn the internal alarm sensors off mate. So then you can lock the van and move around inside
should have looked for it really but the tech deck in the front was a bit of a mind frag 😉
Omg You broke the pasta 😮😮 haha
Great and honest video Adam! ❤
A big campervan seems intimidating at first be trust me you soon get use to the size. A rear view camera is definitely a must though
Adam suits you sir imagine that van kitted out all that room you will have great video oh and who would have thought standing up is such a bonus carry on 😊👍
As an Italian, the snap of that spaghetti, broke my heart 😂😂
Loving the ‘van life’ video-you definitely should get one when able to but maybe not a LWB! 😅
Can’t wait to see what else you get up to…
Lol don't take it personally I kill nearly every meal 😉
The.lights might go off when u shut the door
You need a van with windows lol 😆 you are so blessed to have your dad as he looks like he supports you in your endeavours…. My dad is at this moment having life saving surgery 🙏 your videos help me before so I’m hoping it will get me through this as well ❤️🙏
Oh my goodness my heart goes out to you 🙏
Thank you! Means a lot🙏
Always put the pasta in the sauce, not he sauce on the pasta, then you can properly coat the pasta
Brilliant mate ... I hope you get one
your not the only one mate ,it was never your fault we just have suck it up so it wont hurt as much xxx
🙏
Wow that was a van and a half you think it would have a rear view camera. You did well driving that around after driving your crib. Living the dream is what is all about van or no van just getting out of the every day grind and enjoying nature in what ever you can and most of all stay stealthy.
Yeh bit mad all the tech and no mirror good fun though for the night
Evening.
You better with a van 6mt or less because of the break down reasons ,anything over 6mt is very expensive to tour away .
🤔
Greenmotion were on Rogue Traders some years back for renting dodgy cars..... don't think it's great service when you rent a vehicle for a day to find it's 100 miles overdue a service and needs the fuel filter cleaned.
Got a courtesy car once that needed an oil service.... it was 3 years old and had done around 12,000 miles. Always think places like that just don't take care of their vehicles properly.
that van was big enough for a party!!!
Been watching for a while and just subscribed....so different than most....love it...
Thanks so much really appreciated 👍
Or tow the biscuit tin with the van.
Keep riding Brother. 👍
Let me get me van niggles sorted and borrow my fully kitted t4 for a bumble
I enjoy your videos. I also like.Taffs destination good video
Hi Adam loved the video doing the van life I am sure it is just a taste of good things to come for you
I drive same van its automatic too❤🏴
I mean all.the pleasure and fun u give us is brilliant 👏 the views the cooking 🍳 👏 😅there has to be a van or camper company who should sponsor you please everyone ask about good luck to ya keep bringing us all brilliant vlogs I enjoy everyone we have cook nights what ever meal u do we do so good 👍 🎉live the dream
I hope you get a van and start a van build... Would be awesome.....🤙🤙🤙🤙
Found ur channel today subbed n thumbs ello from #Scotland ☆ 🎩
Adam, you could be easily lost in the back of that cavern 😉😉. Great video, it's given you something to aim for. Thanks for sharing and keep them coming 😉.
Yes Adam fair play fella. You should go for a mwb transit be perfect for you. Might as well pal u spend most your time exploring the country just think of it as your home paying a small mortgage money well spent. Can up and move whenever you feel like it. Not stuck at the grind and paying for a house you only really sleep in . Live the dream Adam u deserve it mate.✌🏻🚚🚚🌍🌎🌎
5 mins in and pixxing myself laughing. Git the biggest van in the world and you know you know, let's load the front with everything 🤣😂🤣. ......Back to watching the rest of the mayhem.
😀
Hello Adam thank you for all your videos I really appreciate them
I think your dad does love you…how could he not? And that corn sounds more like a verruca which are contagious just as painful and lengthy to get rid of..I have corns on my hands (mobility scooter throttle pressure) they’re hard skin shaped like a cone the pointy but inside causes the pain verruca tends to dip in middle and grey fungus y dots inside and as you mentioned spread…to others 🫤anyway big love❤
Oh not sure then I have a corn plaster on for a week now and whatever it is seems to be slowly coming out
@@wanderingwhere yeah the plaster is drawing out the badness I think the same meds works for both..🤞
Great to see your dad we are all built different some people are let's go types, some need abit of warming up but the love is in the heart. 😊 Can't wait for the next adventure hopefully the weather will be stopped raining by then
Thank you for this 🙏
This was great! Hopefully you manage to get a van in the near future! 🙂 I found a squeaky gate on Anglesey the other day and I’ve saved the 3 words location for it as I know you collect them!
Just need a mwb sprinter mate get the full spec in 1 you'll be surprised. I've built 19 vans 👊
Hi adam, wicked video as always. I noticed you rented from Green Motion, pop this into the youtube seach bar : Joe Lycett CHALLENGES Car Rental Company with WRECKED Car | Joe Lycett's Got Your Back
Had a tear in my eyes my relationship with my dad is same but I try doing best for my kids as single dad now but memories mean a lot bud top video as always
😀 gotta make them memories eh sometimes not easy but we have to try sometimes the small ones can just as good, a night on the Xbox with the mini mii's or something uknow
If I could have any vehicle for a camper, Id choose the MAN Support Vehicle 4x4 (british army) + converted Iso container for living in. Its the best truck I have ever driven, I loved going off road in it! Good times 😂😂😂
I’d like to see the van and car camping whatever you can work out. Safe travels!
Either it’s a very high top van or your mans only little 😂
nice mate. tbh I prefer the smaller space in my micro camper and think I wouldn't like the bigger space. all the head height in the world mate and your still hunching over 😂
Also watch ‘the lodge guys’ they’ve transformed a vw crafter into an amazing van. But they are maybe way too big!
Been saying you need a van of sorts since day one mate! Granted maybe not an extended wheelbase, but you look right at home in a van!
You need a MWB bud perfectly balanced & big enough for full time so for you bud ideal 😊
That other van was a mwb
U can pick up 2016 sprinters £5000 obviously the older the cheaper.
I would be freaked out trying to drive such a huge van! 🤣I have a LWB Vauxhall combo, it does the job, and handy for the Scottish roads when travelling in the Highlands. I really hope you get your van some day Adam.
Really Cool Content - Thank-you and nice one for doing it. I'd go with the extra long wheelbase, if ever you can. 1 Luv -
Will plan to convert a camper van at some point, booster seat option, a option 😂
Great vid Adam have a great Bank Holiday uno uno stay stealthy 😁😎
Thanks u too buddy
Tidy that. Dont think you will need a big van. Just a small wheel base will be fine for you i think and if you take somebody with you. Cocking seemed much easier for you
Im very happy with my swb van with normal height roof, much better in these Devon lanes and car parks
Hi Adam! I was expecting the biscuit tin😂
I heard you say taking a bike or such. Most vans make a raised bed and call the room under the bed.....the garage...where they put things like battery's, bikes and other gear. Just saying...you don't need to get the extra long then😊
I'm curious how the next trip in just a car will feel like now...not to mention the biscuit tin 😂😂😂
I like the carcamping you do because it's the most accessible for most people.
Just keep on going your doing a great job ❤
Just out in the biscuit tin as I type feels ... small but cosy it's got its own charm ... a van would be nice though 😉
No van camping for me,all the best for the future
Just get a swb van be big enough for you, It would be easier to drive around especially in scotland, and you can park it in a Car space at the shops.
Perhaps a Verucca , maybe ?
Maybe not sure
Something a bit smaller, more practical and can get about easier! Just a thought especially as you’re going from a car with the freedom of park anywhere 👍
I’m very surprised that the XLWB doesn’t have a rear view or a backup camera. Are you supposed to just rely on the side view mirrors? That’s kind of crazy. You couldn’t see if an emergency vehicle were to come up behind you. I believe in the US it is unlawful to not have some kind of rear view. I Love your soul Adam. You are an exceptional human being.
You know what I love about you Adam, no matter if it’s a failure or a success you just give anything a god damn good go anyway! I wish I was more like that😂 you just bloody go for it ! You’re even a better cook than me 😂😂😂
Keep being you! I love your channel🎉🎉🎉❤
Thanks, gung ho spirit I'm sure it's led me the wrong way a few times but hey ho still rolling 😉
You defo need to get a van mate, you will be far happier in one on your explores 👍
Or tow the biscuit tin with the van.
Now that's an idea
Another fab vlog Adam, sometimes I think a van would be nice but then I think, where would I park it at home,the running costs are ridiculous i.e diesel/petrol,parts if it goes wrong,tax,insurance, it all just puts me off really when I can just jump in my car and its cheap to run,there's a lot to think about there. There are a lot of van lifers doing UA-cam,you are so unique with what you do,it feels like it wouldn't be the same but of course,you must do what your heart wants and I just want to say sometimes I just want to give you a big hug when you do your little introspective chats, I didn't have a brilliant relationship with my dad either. Anyway,stay stealthy and stay true to yourself,much love
I kid you not......tonight I cooked spagbol (on my camping stove at home). Realising I'd missed your video I grabbed a coffee and "pudding". The only thing I had...Jamaica Ginger Cake. Finished off my spagbol before you started cooking so laughed at that, doubly so when you revealed your afters. How was it for you? 😊
The philosophical reflection. Odd isn't it. There comes a time for kids when parents are naff. They do their own thing. And then we lose people. Go do something with your Dad. As you say....make memories.
As for camping for 24 hours in a rental van have you checked out Steve Wallis's video. That was just too funny. It ended up looking like a hotel room of luxury.
You'll get the van Adam. What's for you won't go by you. The universe provides for us all.
Carry on Camping. 😊
Lol Jamaican ginger cake rocks 👍 ... I keep trying with dad we'll see 😀
Love it great idea to try before you buy for you I’d have a little bit smaller but you know what you need too much is great but has its down falls your a nice man can’t cook but still a nice man lol of course you can that’s what I say to my family lol love you’re stuff very very entertaining ❤
Another free weekend 😂
I don't think corns are contagious 😂😂😂
@wanderingwhere I can really relate to what you said about your father. Unfortunately I have a similar relationship with my own.
🙏
Love watching you. I don’t know what I enjoy most the adventures or the cooking.😂❤ Top. Bloke 👍
